Crazy Collections!

Well, Swati, sorry for being late. You tagged me and asked me what I have a fetish for and so here I go :)


To tell you the truth, my interests keep varying with time and yet these are the few things I love collecting!

1. Perfumes! Yes, I have a mediocre collection but would not mind an endless one. So, now you know what to gift me for my birthday!
2. Sarees and dresses! I love buying new dresses and sarees. I often wonder why is it that I have nothing good to wear almost everyday.
3. Chocolates. I dont collect chocolates but I have a weakness for them. Hope my kids are not reading this.
4. Plants. Yes, I love gardening. I have 2 small balconies and I love to expand my garden more and more. How I love the greens!
5. Dolls : Now, people might think this crazy but the dolls I am talking of here are not the usual barbies. I am talking of the dolls that adorn the odd-number of steps during navratris in some of south indian homes. The occassion is called golu. I would probably write a detailed post on it sometime but yes, this festival is my most cherished one.

Talking of fetishes, I remember my childhood days when I used to collect matchboxes. Yes, I did that and had more than some 100 of them before I lost interest. Stamp collection was a craze for sometime too.
During my school college days, I had a huge card collection and I still carry some of them with me. Usha had done a wonderful post on the pain that grips you when you empty your cupboards to throw the old memories away. I have managed to keep them with me so far!

These days my latest passion is buying books. I hope I dont outgrow this one.

OK as for passing on the tag, I would call upon JLT, Usha, HHG, Dame, and all who read this to share their little weaknesses and I promise I wont tell anyone!

hey I love perfumes too - hubby are you reading this???
And tho I havent worn a sari for 3 years now - I'd love to buy some too :)

Interesting. Sometimes I think that what starts a s a hobby sometimes turns into a fetish like your fad for dolls. Unconsciously you begin to look for new models and designs wherever you go.

And thanks for the kind words.
Done the homework miss!

Infact I have many such sarees that were bought impulsively but not worn much :(

Yes, my hobby has become a passion now. I will share the pictures of my golu. I am simply crazy about dolls. The problem is I need a bigger house now!

I love sarees. But Hubby does not like me wearing them. He says I look funny :( :( :(

WhatsInAName August 11, 2007 at 12:09 PM  

awww is it?
I thought saree is one dress which will suit everyone!
Some days I think you can wear something for yourself :) Hope your hubby doesnt read this!
